Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter and add 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 12-15 minutes until onions are soft and caramelized.
Step 2: Brush 1 (12-inch) flatbread crust with 1 tbsp olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Arrange 1 cup thinly sliced Saginaw County apple evenly over the flatbread, then top with the caramelized onions.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the toppings and scatter 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves on top. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
Step 6: Remove from oven and drizzle 1 tsp honey over the top if desired for a hint of sweetness. Slice and serve warm.
